Perhaps the git you're installing is modifying your ~/.ssh/config? Clearly that git is changing some ssh configuration files that Cygwin sees, is overriding it's mounts to change the home directory, or something similar. You'll need to check with the providers of the git you're installing to find out more about this. But I would agree with Thorsten on this. If you're looking for the quick fix, use Cygwin's git. -- Larry Hall http://www.rfk.com RFK Partners, Inc. (508) 893-9779 - RFK Office 216 Dalton Rd.
